Give Kids Early Christmas Gifts Through Santa's Delivery In Radnor

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA — Radnor Township is once again offering local kids a bit of Christmas joy early through its annual Santa's Delivery program.

Township families only can register now through Nov. 21 to have Santa Claus give their little ones a gift early this holiday season.

Register online here.

Through the program, various Radnor Township departments, the Radnor Fire Company, the Bryn Mawr Fire Company, other local fire companies, and the Citizens Police Academy on Sunday, Dec. 7 will team up with Santa to make an early visit to Radnor neighborhood spreading holiday cheer and bringing a special gift to children of those who pre-register.

Gifts can be dropped off at Radnor Township Building, 301 Iven Ave. in Wayne, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Additionally, the township is collecting gifts from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at the township building.

When dropping off gifts, be sure to bring the printed custom form.

Gifts will not be accepted after 5:30 p.m. Nov. 21. And there will not be a gift drop-off on Nov. 29 after Thanksgiving.

Gifts must be 6-by-six-by-six inches. Any gift larger than that size will not be accepted.

The gift recipient's first and last name must be clearly printed on each wrapped gift with a Sharpie or other permanent marker.

Each family must complete their own online registration, even if they are participating with multiple families at one location on delivery day. Only complete the online registration once for the entire family.

When registering, select a Parent/Guardian as the "Registrant" to begin registration. Then, enter all children in your family who are receiving gifts. The program is limited to one gift per child.
